OroraTech has appointed Dr Ignacio Zuleta as its Chief Technology and Product Officer (CTPO).
Dr Zuleta will lead the development of thermal data space infrastructure for persistent intelligence.
Thermal Sensors
His new role will see him lead the company’s technology strategy and execution as OroraTech advances its leadership in persistent thermal activity monitoring.
Dr. Zuleta brings over a decade of experience in designing, deploying, and operating large-scale Earth observation systems.
He has played a central role in pioneering distributed satellite constellations and transforming raw sensor data into operational intelligence used at a global scale.
As CTPO, he will steer OroraTech’s end-to-end technology deployment, spanning thermal sensor and product deployment, edge data processing, and real-time connectivity.
Wildfire Monitoring
Dr Zuleta said: “Earth Observation is finally entering a defining moment. Persistent, purpose-built, thermal-first systems are no longer optional if we want to understand, predict, and manage extreme events like wildfires, resource conflicts, and climate change at a planetary scale.
“OroraTech is uniquely positioned to lead this transition by building dedicated thermal infrastructure for persistent observation and operational focus.
“As CTPO, my vision is to build the most trusted, most capable thermal intelligence platform in the world – one that turns raw measurements into real-time decisions that protect lives, land, and critical infrastructure.”
Vast Experience
Before joining OroraTech, Dr Zuleta was a key contributor to the development of the first large-distributed Earth observation constellations, including the world’s first daily high-resolution land-monitoring mission.
Martin Langer, CEO of OroraTech, said: “Ignacio brings a rare depth that he will apply to our sensors, constellation operations, and product strategy.
“Paired with a clear vision for how thermal intelligence must evolve to meet the realities of risk faced by governments and industries across the globe, his leadership strengthens our ability to scale advanced thermal technology while staying relentlessly focused on impact for our customers.”
OroraTech operates the world’s largest network of dedicated thermal sensors for infrared data accumulation and wildfire monitoring, delivering near-real-time intelligence to governments and businesses worldwide.
